I'm still alive. Unfortunately

I tried to hang myself with the partial suspension hanging method, and it failed.
This was my setup. If anyone can point out any flaws or offer any suggestions, it would be appreciated. I will try again at another point.

Did the rope glide down from the top of the door?

I think that the rope is too long

Also, is that noose made with a slip knot? Doesn't look right to me.



I'd also check the other knot around the door handle to make sure it's secure.

Commenting because I want to know too. My setup is almost entirely identical. However, I have the rope slung over the other side of the door and the noose higher up so I am standing in the closet. Also I have something heavy on the other side of the closet door to keep it from swinging open should my body lean back

What is the problem you are having specifically?

I've practiced holding my breath for over a minute but when I am leaning into the noose it seems like my air supply runs out after only a few seconds and the survival instinct kicks in. I've tried dozens if not hundreds of times but I am still stuck on this miserable planet

I don't know the method well, but just from what I can see, and speaking as a sailor, climber, and mountaineer, your knots are terrible. I'm sorry to sound so harsh, but I see no other way to put it. The slip knot on the noose is not "dressed" properly (neatened up so that it acts the way it was intended to act), so it probably won't tighten reliably, and the knot anchoring the rope on the far doorknob looks like only a single half-hitch, which will probably loosen as soon as you start twitching, if it doesn't first come loose as soon as your full weight loads it.

At the anchor point, you need a minimum of two half hitches around the standing part of the rope --the end going up toward the top of the door. You also need to leave a handbreadth of tail --leftover end of rope-- outside the knot, so that the end doesn't slip back through when a load comes on the rope.

For the noose, you need to practice your knot tying skills until the slip knot looks as clean and concise as the one @Superfluous suggests. Just twisting and turning the rope in the right directions doesn't mean the knot will work properly, the twists and turns need to be in the right relation to each other.

Again, sorry to be so critical.
